Although synchronize_sched_expedited() historically has no RCU CPU stall
warnings, the availability of the rcupdate.rcu_expedited boot parameter
invalidates the old assumption that synchronize_sched()'s stall warnings
would suffice. This commit therefore adds RCU CPU stall warnings to
synchronize_sched_expedited().

The strictly rcu_node based funnel-locking scheme works well in many
cases, but systems with CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=64 won't necessarily get
all that much concurrency. This commit therefore extends the funnel
locking into the per-CPU rcu_data structure, providing concurrency equal
to the number of CPUs.

One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a
causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and
ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must
be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies
on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that
does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function.
This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both
synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited().
However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would
be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit
does just that.

Although synchronize_rcu_expedited() uses a sequence-counter scheme, it
is based on a single increment per grace period, which means that tasks
piggybacking off of concurrent grace periods may be forced to wait longer
than necessary. This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count
functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things
up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to
bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the
sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full
expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot. These will be
applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of
underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(),
which will be applied to _rcu_barrier().
One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves
is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact
that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition,
the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change,
where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by
at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second
rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually
long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically
quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and
up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu()
with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine
when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock()
polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node
tree. The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing

of mutex contention.

Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler
work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme
by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme.
A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that
the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise.
So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is
greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has
already happened.

The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(),
which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU,
and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any
of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which
get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling
latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs.
This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU
in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency
on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the
code a little bit.
Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm
and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the
new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

In turn, rcu_state::levelcnt[] array is never accessed

to limit to RCU_NUM_LVLS items.
Since rcu_num_lvls could be changed during boot (as result
of rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf kernel parameter update) one might
assume a new value could overflow the value of RCU_NUM_LVLS.
However, that is not the case, since leaf-level fanout is only
permitted to increase, resulting in rcu_num_lvls possibly to

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.
We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.
The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.
With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations.
This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it
does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated
->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables. However, rcutorture currently uses
a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). Therefore, this commit adds a second form
of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the
associated per-CPU variables. This commit also adds a ->cleanup()
member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test,
after ->cb_barriers(). This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all
existing tests, and thus only used for scrud. Finally, the SRCU-P
torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N
continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic
srcu_struct structures.

[ paulmck: Update documentation, as suggested by Josh Triplett. ]
If, at the time __rcu_process_callbacks() is invoked, there are callbacks
in Tiny RCU's callback list, but none of them are ready to be invoked,
the current list-management code will knit the non-ready callbacks out
of the list. This can result in hangs and possibly worse. This commit
therefore inserts a check for there being no callbacks that can be
invoked immediately.
This bug is unlikely to occur -- you have to get a new callback between
the time rcu_sched_qs() or rcu_bh_qs() was called, but before we get to
__rcu_process_callbacks(). It was detected by the addition of RCU-bh
testing to rcutorture, which in turn was instigated by Iftekhar Ahmed's
mutation testing. Although this bug was made much more likely by
915e8a4fe4 (rcu: Remove fastpath from __rcu_process_callbacks()), this
did not cause the bug, but rather made it much more probable. That
said, it takes more than 40 hours of rcutorture testing, on average,
for this bug to appear, so this fix cannot be considered an emergency.

In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the
gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at
the point of use in the code. This meant that the compiler always saw
the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be
unconditionally defined. This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask
pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY
in cases where it was not even used.
This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay
under #ifdef. In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus
allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay
is a const variable initialized by default to zero.
This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating
the IS_DEFINED(). Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay
case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes
the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case. In addition,
this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable
PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that
are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.

As noted in earlier commit logs, CPU hotplug operations running
concurrently with grace-period initialization can result in a given
leaf rcu_node structure having all CPUs offline and no blocked readers,
but with this rcu_node structure nevertheless blocking the current
grace period. Therefore, the quiescent-state forcing code now checks
for this situation and repairs it.
Unfortunately, this checking can result in false positives, for example,
when the last task has just removed itself from this leaf rcu_node
structure, but has not yet started clearing the ->qsmask bits further
up the structure. This means that the grace-period kthread (which
forces quiescent states) and some other task might be attempting to
concurrently clear these ->qsmask bits. This is usually not a problem:
One of these tasks will be the first to acquire the upper-level rcu_node
structure's lock and with therefore clear the bit, and the other task,
seeing the bit already cleared, will stop trying to clear bits.
Sadly, this means that the following unusual sequence of events -can-
result in a problem:
1. The grace-period kthread wins, and clears the ->qsmask bits.
2. This is the last thing blocking the current grace period, so
that the grace-period kthread clears ->qsmask bits all the way
to the root and finds that the root ->qsmask field is now zero.
3. Another grace period is required, so that the grace period kthread
initializes it, including setting all the needed qsmask bits.
4. The leaf rcu_node structure (the one that started this whole
mess) is blocking this new grace period, either because it
has at least one online CPU or because there is at least one
task that had blocked within an RCU read-side critical section
while running on one of this leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs.
(And yes, that CPU might well have gone offline before the
grace period in step (3) above started, which can mean that
there is a task on the leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks
list, but ->qsmask equal to zero.)
5. The other kthread didn't get around to trying to clear the upper
level ->qsmask bits until all the above had happened. This means
that it now sees bits set in the upper-level ->qsmask field, so it
proceeds to clear them. Too bad that it is doing so on behalf of
a quiescent state that does not apply to the current grace period!
This sequence of events can result in the new grace period being too
short. It can also result in the new grace period ending before the
leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask bits have been cleared, which will
result in splats during initialization of the next grace period. In
addition, it can result in tasks blocking the new grace period still
being queued at the start of the next grace period, which will result
in other splats. Sasha's testing turned up another of these splats,
as did rcutorture testing. (And yes, rcutorture is being adjusted to
make these splats show up more quickly. Which probably is having the
undesirable side effect of making other problems show up less quickly.
Can't have everything!)

As noted earlier, the following sequence of events can occur when
running PREEMPT_RCU and HOTPLUG_CPU on a system with a multi-level
rcu_node combining tree:
1. A group of tasks block on CPUs corresponding to a given leaf
rcu_node structure while within RCU read-side critical sections.
2. All CPUs corrsponding to that rcu_node structure go offline.
3. The next grace period starts, but because there are still tasks
blocked, the upper-level bits corresponding to this leaf rcu_node
structure remain set.
4. All the tasks exit their RCU read-side critical sections and
remove themselves from the leaf rcu_node structure's list,
leaving it empty.
5. But because there now is code to check for this condition at
force-quiescent-state time, the upper bits are cleared and the
grace period completes.
However, there is another complication that can occur following step 4 above:
4a. The grace period starts, and the leaf rcu_node structure's
gp_tasks pointer is set to NULL because there are no tasks
blocked on this structure.
4b. One of the CPUs corresponding to the leaf rcu_node structure
comes back online.
4b. An endless stream of tasks are preempted within RCU read-side
critical sections on this CPU, such that the ->blkd_tasks
list is always non-empty.
The grace period will never end.
This commit therefore makes the force-quiescent-state processing check only
for absence of tasks blocking the current grace period rather than absence
of tasks altogether. This will cause a quiescent state to be reported if
the current leaf rcu_node structure is not blocking the current grace period
and its parent thinks that it is, regardless of how RCU managed to get
itself into this state.

Because that RCU grace-period initialization need no longer exclude
CPU-hotplug operations, this commit eliminates the ->onoff_mutex and
its uses.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve,
so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately,
this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the
last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop,
because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context.
This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events
in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a
grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to
the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special
case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being
offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks
list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case,
propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning
of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side
critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point
the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node
structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the
->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared.
This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be
out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were
online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's
force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes
offline after the grace period starts.

The rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() function is invoked when the
last task blocking the current grace period exits its outermost
RCU read-side critical section. Previously, this was called only
from rcu_read_unlock_special(), and was therefore defined only when
CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=y. However, this function will be invoked even when
CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=n once CPU-hotplug operations are processed only at
the beginnings of RCU grace periods. The reason for this change is that
the last task on a given leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list
might well exit its RCU read-side critical section between the time that
recent CPU-hotplug operations were applied and when the new grace period
was initialized. This situation could result in RCU waiting forever on
that leaf rcu_node structure, because if all that structure's CPUs were
already offline, there would be no quiescent-state events to drive that
structure's part of the grace period.
This commit therefore moves rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common code
that is built unconditionally so that the quiescent-state-forcing code
can clean up after this situation, avoiding the grace-period stall.

Currently, the rcu_node tree ->expmask bitmasks are initially set to
reflect the online CPUs. This is pointless, because only the CPUs
preempted within RCU read-side critical sections by the preceding
synchronize_sched_expedited() need to be tracked. This commit therefore
instead sets up these bitmasks based on the state of the ->blkd_tasks
lists.

Offline CPUs cannot safely invoke trace events, but such CPUs do execute
within rcu_cpu_notify(). Therefore, this commit removes the trace events
from rcu_cpu_notify(). These trace events are for utilization, against
which rcu_cpu_notify() execution time should be negligible.

Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so
that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period
initialization. This commit therefore allows grace-period
initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing
race-reproduction probability. A pair of new Kconfig parameters are
provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies
of slowdown to apply. A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay
allows boot-time delay to be specified. By default, no delay will be
applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.

If all CPUs have passed through quiescent states, then stalls might be
due to starvation of the grace-period kthread or to failure to propagate
the quiescent states up the rcu_node combining tree. The current stall
warning messages do not differentiate, so this commit adds a printout
of the root rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field.

Currently, both rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() and rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
initialize the outgoing CPU's callback list. However, only
rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() invokes rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage(), and
it does so unconditionally, which means that only one of these
initializations is required. This commit therefore consolidates the
callback-list initialization with the rest of the callback handling in
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage().

Because invoke_cpu_core() checks whether the current CPU is online,
there is no need for __call_rcu_core() to redundantly check it.
There should not be any performance degradation because the called
function is visible to the compiler. This commit therefore removes
the redundant check.

The very similar functions rcu_force_quiescent_state(),
rcu_bh_force_quiescent_state(), and rcu_sched_force_quiescent_state()

If an RCU read-side critical section occurs within an interrupt handler
or a softirq handler, it cannot have been preempted. Therefore, there is
a check in rcu_read_unlock_special() checking for this error. However,
when this check triggers, it lacks diagnostic information. This commit
therefore moves rcu_read_unlock()'s lockdep annotation to follow the
call to __rcu_read_unlock() and changes rcu_read_unlock_special()'s
WARN_ON_ONCE() to an lockdep_rcu_suspicious() in order to locate where
the offending RCU read-side critical section began. In addition, the
value of the ->rcu_read_unlock_special field is printed.

If the RCU grace-period kthread invoking rcu_sysidle_check_cpu()
happens to be running on the tick_do_timer_cpu initially,
then rcu_bind_gp_kthread() won't bind it. This kthread might
then migrate before invoking rcu_gp_fqs(), which will trigger the
WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_sysidle_check_cpu(). This commit therefore makes
rcu_bind_gp_kthread() do the binding even if the kthread is currently
on the same CPU. Because this incurs added overhead, this commit also
causes each RCU grace-period kthread to invoke rcu_bind_gp_kthread()
once at boot rather than at the beginning of each grace period.
And as long as rcu_bind_gp_kthread() is being modified, this commit
eliminates its #ifdef.
